How about my grandmothers? One was a telephone operator in NYC in the 1920s before she married a kind & handsome milkman, the other became a 5th grade teacher when her rich VP of a pharmaceutical company cheater criminal husband left her for his second family. Both women were stone cold asskickers.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

If you're in San Diego, do yourself a favor and go listen to Maggie Tokuda-Hall speak next week.

Project launched! (And already 53% funded!!)

This is what everyone should be worrying about. Not Trump canceling elections, but Republicans taking the trips they've been playing on everyone else and doing them to white voter precincts.

This thread is a painfully perfect description of how it will go down.

Gonna launch this puppy at 2pm ET.

The Democrats have the power to speak up. They don’t use this power.

Oh damn I need a Time Machine to travel back to the early 00s to post this on my Boardhost board. The insane number of times I was accused of intolerance by the intolerant because I refused access to their anti-LGBTQ bullshit… I want to post this in 2005 and simply tap the sign!!!

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.

Republicans are still stuck at zero.

Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.

Hahahaahahahahahahaha we LOVE to see it. Losing a primary as an imcumbent by 48 points. Not even cracking 25%. May all collaborators face such a fate, at minimum.

as is their natural diet

Here are 4 districts the TX GOP gerrymandered to gain seats in November, with the Dem and GOP primary vote. Dems outvoted GOPs in every one of them.

Democrats have more flip opportunities *this month* in New Hampshire and Florida, and arguably Louisiana (that one may be a stretch).

PARALLEL RESULT #2: Michael Wray, a former North Carolina Democratic lawmaker, helped the GOP override a bunch of Governor Cooper's vetoes before losing in 2024 to progressive challenger Rodney Pierce, was trying a comeback.

He lost to Pierce again today—decisively, more than 25% gap.

RESULT: Over & over, Democratic lawmaker Shelly Willingham helped the North Carolina GOP override the vetoes of Governor Stein & Cooper.

He lost just now to a progressive challenger, 56% to 44%.

(And he's likely one of several in this position. Stay tuned.)

RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state House seat in Arkansas.

This is their 2nd flip of a legislative seat so far in 2025 (after a Texas flip in January), & it adds to a tremendous trend that started last year, when they flipped 21% of all GOP-held seats in play: boltsmag.org/legislative-...

I’m so happy to hear that!! ❤️🏳️‍🌈❤️

Both of these are entirely consistent when you consider that kids are their parents’ property until women (and their bodies) become the property of their husbands.

Tell Congress: No War with Iran Trump has launched unauthorized military strikes on Iran, dragging the United States into yet another war without approval from Congress. This reckless escalation is putting U.S. servicemembers, Ameri...

Every Member of Congress needs to understand that the upcoming War Powers Resolution vote will be a defining vote — just like the Iraq War vote that defined a generation of politicians.

But our elected officials won’t understand how significant the vote is unless they hear and feel the outrage now.

The first comic slide of “reasons to wear a mask 2026” depicts a person wearing a white mask who says “Hell yea!” Around them are bright pastel colors and cute but ominous looking SARS-CoV-2 viruses. Text reading “a lil manifesto about taking care of yourself and others- with over 50 citations! By Gillian Levine.”

This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine extends playful the Long COVID fest concept and depicts a hand holding a sheet from a music festival with facts about Long COVID facts and prevention, stating that everyone is vulnerable and that there is no cure, among other facts.

This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine shows ways to prevent COVID-19 and Long COVID, focusing on the importance of masking.

This comic slide from “why you should wear a mask 2026” by Gillian Levine playfully gives reasons of why to wear a mask using a Monopoly board. Each square represents a different reason to mask, from protecting yourself and others to protecting yourself from other airborne virus. Dice and game board pieces are scattered around.

Artist Gillian Levine recently wrote and illustrated a comic sharing reasons to continue masking in 2026. She kindly gave us permission to republish it.

Another open-book test of spine and moral backbone that will be failed en masse by the people who are supposed to be watchdogs of democracy.

You turn down invites from Nazis, kids. It’s the easiest call to make. Imagine if Trump walked into a room empty aside from ten Fox News clowns.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

What. The. Fuck.

It would mean the lobbying by big US tech firms had succeeded, and the protests of the UK's creatives had been ignored.

People's work is not the government's to give away.

If you're in the UK and you care about creatives and the creative industries, please write to your MP!

And they call us obscene when we say “Fuck!!”
